There is a lot to love about this neighborhood pizzeria with its eclectic decor and vibrant atmosphere. Upon entering, we dodged fast-paced servers running past us and jostled with fellow customers for standing room in a narrow space, only to discover that dine-in guests eating inside can descend the staircase to a lower level. Menus on the table await guests, showcasing six delicious pizzas including a pizza of the day, as well as a few other dishes.
Selecting two of their incredibly affordable pizzas, we found the crust to be deliciously light and chewy, delicately scorched by the oven but not overcooked. The sauce is magnificent, rich and flavorful without being overbearing, finely puréed without chunks of tomatoes. Lumps of fresh mozzarella, partially melted on top most of the pizzas, are a perfect compliment to the finished product. The flavors and textures certainly earned our four-star review!
But there are a number of cons of which patrons should be aware. Menus are in Italian and QR codes on the table link to an English menu. But with no free WiFi in the restaurant, English-speaking tourists who don't have international Internet plans are out of luck. The Una Guatosa Marinara pizza is very good, but it has raw garlic. It's not roasted nor marinated to take the edge off of this pungent topping, and the Parmesan is quite sparse. Like all European restaurants, even during a heat wave you have to beg for a sufficient amount of water. Most of the employees are short with customers and act like they don't want to be there. But you'll enjoy a meal here if you're nearby and craving a hip pizza joint.
